Here's You A Shovel

I've taken what I've destroyed
And I've buried my past behind,
I wish that you would do the same
Here's you a shovel, please be kind.
I look back upon our life we shared
And wondered, What the hell went wrong,
We shared so much and to this day
For our daughters, we have to get along.

What did I ever do in our time
That would make you so despise?
You come at me with daggers
Never caring of the woeful cries.
Why can't you just leave well enough alone
And just live for the day,
Here's you a shovel, bury the past
And let's be on our way.

You've gone on with your life
So let me go on with mine,
Quit bringing up the past
Here's you a shovel, please be kind.
I thought we would be able to be friends
But that doesn't seem to really fit,
So take that shovel and dig the ground
Burying the past bit by bit.

Wolfie... I hope you get your wish!

Thank you Mysti...but it won't never happen.

hope it happens Robert-life's too short

I hope so too Pam, but she just doesn't want to let bygones be bygones. She wants me to have a miserable life. So she enjoys bringing up the past. I so could destroy her life by doing the same thing, but I am not that kind of person. I've walked away from my past and I am moving on.

The good news is that it is YOUR life Robert ...

...she can wish for yours to be miserable all she wants but only you can allow it to be ...

...so don't! Enjoy a life well lived!!!!

Her stuff is her's to deal with ...she will only make herself miserable by holding on to it ...

You control how you feel ...

YOU REMEMBER THAT ROBERT - AND KEEP MOVIN' ON..........DON'T LET HER GET TO YOU LIKE THAT - YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER A PERSON THAN SHE IS AND YOU KNOW IT........IF YOU LET HER GET TO YOU DARLIN' - SHE WINS...........

Thank you Sherrie...from the friends who care...you are so sweet.

Thanks Michele...she won't win. Not this time.

here's to the shovel and soft ground...

nicely done robert

I use a shovel in nature and a flush at home,
Both are as useful for what can float or sink,
A smelly reminder is best left on its own,
Dont contemplate or worry it,just bury or flush it ..thats what i think

Bringing up old pain is just a new way to annoy someone today...i hope u guys bury it and be friends at least,gl

Thanks Kev...around here in Georgia, it's hard red clay....so it takes a while for her to dig.

Thanks Socra...cute little add too. Thanks for the luck.

Hand her a watering can along with the shovel,,
Maybe in time she will see what she has done,,
You've done all you can do,, so move forward be the loving father you are and enjoy your life, live for you now,

Thanks Denise...that warms my heart. That would be a good present to give to her. A shovel and a watering can...hmmmm. And maybe a packet of seeds. Should they be daisies or forget me nots?

Remember Robert, what you think she despises in you is what she most likely fears exists within herself....just live, Love, laugh...do not make her problem yours...it's not about you...it's about her journey towards healing what lies within her own heart.

If you completely let her go, within the fullness of Love, nothing she says or does will negatively affect you because you will know she is responding from a place of fear (within herself), and accordingly, the only thing you will feel for her is a sense of compassion.

This will replace any frustrations you may have; then, you will be free

I agree whole heartedly - and on a lighter note - forget the forget-me-nots------I like the idea of the daisies

Thank you J for that wonderful advice. I certainly will pay heed to that.

Ok the forget me nots are forgotten.

Sometimes we have to hit them in the back of
the head with that there shovel, before they start
digging!

Good write! {{{{{Robert}}}}}

Robert....

Bobbi can't control you any more. She does not have the power over you that she so desperately needed while the two of you were together. She probably HATES that she can't have you under her thumb anymore!!!!

There are some in this world that has never figured out how to deal with the past and let it die and learn to move on. Even though she can not it is her down fall not yours. Leave her to dig her own hole one day she will be so deep no one will hear her anyway.

Thanks Jo, Susan and Kristi...she will soon see when she gets married. The girls don't want to be around when she does.
